IEEE emeritbadges.org Program
The IEEE emeritbadges.org program has developed hands-on electricity and electronics instructional material based on the Boy Scouts' merit badge requirements. Instructional material for computer education is being developed. Any student, boy or girl can use the program to enhance technical literacy and learn more about viable engineering and other technical career options.  The IEEE emeritbadges.org program will be sponsoring the Electricity Merit Badge and the Electronics Merit Badge booth at the 2010 National Scout Jamboree.

The Electricity Merit Badge is one of the original merit badges from 1911. Over 728,000 scouts earned the Electricity Merit Badge between 1911 and 2007. The IEEE emeritbadges.org team and the IEEE CPMT Society performed a peer review of the newly revised Electricity Merit Badge.

Completing the requirements for the Electricity Merit Badge is a great way boys and girls to study the basics of:
  • Electricity
  • Electrical history
  • How to respond to electrical emergencies
  • Energy management techniques

The IEEE emeritbadges.org team has developed instructional material to be used in conjunction with the Boy Scouts of America Electricity Merit Badge pamphlet.

The IEEE emeritbadges.org Project will sponsor the Electricity Merit Badge Booth at the 2010 National Scout Jamboree.  The booth will be located on the Merit Badge Midway.  We will be providing instruction that will allow Scouts attending the 2010 National Scout Jamboree to complete the Electronics Merit Badge. 

Scouts, Staff and visitors are invited to visit our Electronics Merit Badge Booth to:

  • Learn about technical career options
  • View demonstrations in the areas of power, communications, computers and electronics
  • Use Free WIFI

Look for the pink Flamingos surrounding our booth!
